A Friendly Reminder

BACK UP your files! Norton Ghost is a good program to backup with.... if you lose your drive you don't have a ghost of a chance to recover. I'm in the 30th hour of backing up my 2 internal drives that have not much more than program files ---- oy! But PS won't open more than 2 images at a time, and if they are TIFFS or PSD files the whole computer freezes.... so
Along with time issues of the past few months I have to send the box in for replacement drives. For now the 2 externals are handling the load very very very slowly.

And so much for my short lived resolution to make this month truly a photo a day. Tomorrow is another day :)

Canon EOS 5D
1/200s f/7.1 at 60.0mm iso400 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Outstanding advice of course. I should build a backup system disk with Ghost... Excellent shot.

Good reminder, Karen. I'm shopping for a second external HD to use for back up. Maybe I'll get serious this weekend!
